I've been trying to make myself anonymous, but I cant find 'Tor' anywhere, tried 'yum & kpackagekit' neither have it. I did find 'Privoxy', installed it, set proxy for HTTP and HTTPS in Firefox, but it says 'unknown proxy' when I try to use it! I've been to the Privoxy web site and read through the 'User manual', but most of it is 'geek' to me!
When I try playing a movie using mplayer, it says The following plugins are required
MPEG -1 Layer 3 decoder Divx mpeg-4 version 5 decoder
or
could not determine the type of stream
In the first case, clicking on the search option, error occurs (probably because of the proxy I am working behind) I can use yum install though behing the proxy. How can install these codecs from the command line ?
I am working on fc10. I connect to internet using two connections: with proxy and without proxy. Initially I had some problem in configuring yum for proxy and I resolved it by creating files proxy.sh and proxy.csh in /etc/profile.d with the required details (export_proxy).Now when I connect to my connection without proxy I have some problems .Whenever I try to do yum update I get the following error:
"[URL]: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from adobe-linux-i386: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try." what changes do I need to make in order to use yum in the connection without proxy?
Currently my DHCP Server is working now what i want to have is auto detection of squid proxy in any browser but I still got an error in my dhcp server when I restart it.
My Config:
# DHCP configuration generated by Firestarter ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates;
I am trying to set up my squid3 proxy as a transparent proxy - right now, I have to manually configure browsers to access via proxy. I understand that I have to put some rules into Iptables and also some further directives in the squid.conf.
I have a couple of specific questions. The proxy server is running on a Ubuntu 10.04 workstation and this machine also acts as a dhcp server for the network. I have just one subnet , namely 192.168.0.1-254 There is only 1 network card. Is it much easier to put in a second network card or is it just as easy to configure the existing lan card as a dual IP?
Is it necessary to configure these 2 IP's ( whether they are via 2 lan cards or dual IP on single card ) to be on different subnets. i.e ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.1.1 or is ok to have something like ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.0.254 ( where ETH0 is the one facing the LAN and ETH1 points to the modem router / switch i.e The Internet ) Where specifically do I save the Iptables rule configuration file and what must I call it ?
I've been doing some security testing in a lab environment that does not have direct internet access. It's actually a little complicated: From home to connect to my lab machine, I
1. SSH to machineA. 2. SSH from machineA to machineB
where machineB is my actual lab machine. neither machineA or machineB allow anything other than SSH, and machineB is only accessible from machineA. However, I really need to run yum on machineB. I have managed to get internet access via Firefox on machineB by creating a series of SOCKS proxy via SSH.
where machineC has internet without limits placed. This is the only way I have managed to get internet working. I tried using ssh -L all the way from machineB->machineA->machineC but it didn't work (even when setting Firefox to use http proxy). I tried using ssh -D all the way, but again that doesn't work either.
I do have access via Firefox using socks proxy. However, yum update fails to retrieve mirror list, and from what I have found I don't believe yum supports socks proxy directly. Instead, it uses http_proxy / ftp_proxy. how to get yum to go out over the SOCKS proxy I created (same one using in Firefox)? It seems like since Firefox can access the internet and everything without issues, i should be able to get yum to tunnel through the same connection to access everything.... I tried
is there a way to force wget to use a specific squid proxy when making connections ? - I use a squid proxy normally, but I need this specific request to go via a different one. I dont have to use wget, I just need a way to test squid's blocking rules by requesting various pages through it, this proxy is not my normally proxy on the network and so I cant rely on wget taking the environment variable.
Also, this is as part of a script, so anything that avoids editing wget config files would be best. - Perhaps curl can do this ? - currently im using the exit code of wget to determine if the connection was made.
At the moment I have a proxy and all the users have to configure it in the browser to access internet. I want to make the users able to browse even without configuring the proxy in the browser. but eventually it should be received in the proxy rather than giving an error to the user. I heard with transparent proxy I can redirect all the traffic from a particular network, to a particular host( ie my existing proxy).
I tried this using firewall rules. But then the existing proxy doesn't understand the protocol of the requests. I heard that it should be in the kind of proxy protocol.
I have been running into an issue for a while now and have finally decided to address it. The problem is with trying to install flashplugin-installer from my work computer. It seems to be insisting on trying to connect via port 80 despite the fact that my proxy settings are set to 8080. No other package has this issue and for the life of me I cannot find anybody who has the same problem. Here is the terminal output of the current attempt
In the 9.1 server install you can specify a proxy server for updates. How do you change the proxy after the install?There must be a config file somewhere but where?
I am trying to install a proxy on my Kubuntu 10.10, since I live in a country that blocks access to almost everything. I tried to install squid, anon, socks.. both with command-line and KPackageKit, but every time, I have this error message:
I'm trying to install zabbix-proxy with dpkg -i and not to use dbconfig-common, is a remote installation, I tried using expect to ansewer no to the first dbconfig dialog, the one that asks if you want to configure everything with dbconfig or not.
This is my quest: i need to install a box with a proxy server where useres can login, register what those users have been doing on-line and generate a dailly activaty report... I have been googleing for days and so far a tried out zeroshell (no reports) and untangle (no login)...
I've setup squid proxy st time on centos 5.This is my current setup.squid.conf:Quote:acl our_networks src 192.168.10.0/24 ttp_access allow our_networksQuote:

I just made a script to install a Transparent Proxy with DHCP Server, Content Filtering and Webmin. It installs and configures the modules and starts them. I can use from two to five interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 & eth4). I've tested in 8.04 to 9.10 and works fine. It does not configures BIND and IPTABLES, just install all the modules needed for a transparent proxy, and configures DHCP, SQUID, DANSGUARDIAN and WEBMIN for Ubuntu. I did it because mostly all configurations I do are transparent proxies.
What does: 1. Installs many packages needed for transparent proxies, and webmin. Also installs perl modules needed. 2. Configures default Squid settings for transparent proxies, and a better Dansguardian content filtering for public access. 3. Configures and fixes Webmin DHCP and Dansguardian modules to work on Ubuntu. 4. Configures DHCP Server subnets.
What doesn't: 1. IPTABLES and BIND. You must configure both manually. IPTABLES can be configured with Firewall Builder or other firewall tool. BIND can be configured using Webmin or the CLI. 2. Configures /etc/network/interfaces. You must configure all network interfaces correctly. Any mistake can screw the automatic configuration. 3. Dansguardian Blacklists. You must use your prefered blacklists. I use URLBigBlacklist with a modified script to work on Ubuntu (downloaded from Danguardians' Extras and fixed up to work on Ubuntu). 4. Check the script if there's something missing.
I have Kubuntu 9.10 and i cant update anything because I have a proxy set up. and I cant figure out how to turn it off. I did turn it off through synaptic but its still turned on.
this is what comes out when I try to install updates through kpackagekit
When I try to use wget or install anything that uses wget to install (flash player plugin), it fails, as my IT admin blocks direct access to IPs. I see wget takes the domain and resolves it's IP and then downloads (atleast thats how I get it?), and then I get "connection refused". Is it possible to force it use the domain and not the IP?

Iwould like to install Proxy(Apache) server on linux.is it possible?
I would like to trace the user activities by proxy server. we are running many applications on that.How to trace that.is there any server better than Apcache?
I have a netbook running Fedora 10 that i use for work, whilst at work i move around allot of schools. Each have varying proxy settings etc... So i was wondering if it was possible to set the system proxy (the one in System->Preferances->Internet And Network->Network Proxy) from bash. That way i can write a script that looks at my IP (each school has a diff ip e.g. 10.x.y.z) and then sets the system proxy accordingly.
At work I used to use "export http_proxy=http://xxx:8080" in F10 to instruct yum to use said http proxy. This no longer works with F11; yum would hang like this in F11, with http_proxy set: [root@taiwan timliim]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit The reason being that in F10 yum uses http to get mirror list, but in F11 it uses https. In F11 one can use export https_proxy=http://xxx:8080 or edit /etc/yum.conf to add proxy=http://xxx:8080 This knowledge is in other postings too, but their subject lines are less than obvious to me, so I am reposting a summarized version here.
